Nah, but they’re both forms of intellectual property.

In this case, it seems like they decided Zynga was infringing on patent US7072849B1. They managed to convince the court that Zynga’s advertising methods were too similar to what was described in that patent. Which is bullshit, as software patents shouldn’t exist, but oh well.

sell 4 lbs to one at a rebate

But the guy wrote that he was paying normal prices/didn’t get any bulk pricing.

All I see are some hands…? You need to clean your dirty mind!

Well, yeah, because they initiated the code to verify it was you who called them. Better than them asking your “security questions” or such. It’s a completely different situation if you got an incoming call who asks for that.

Not sure where they’re from, and the laws are tricky (plus there’s lots of loopholes - if the TV station is technically broadcast from another country, it doesn’t need to follow our laws?), but it seems to be similar in Sweden. And yeah, it’s usually found in normal stores as well as the alcohol monopoly… but I’ve never seen anyone buy it, nor is it even significantly cheaper.

For example: 33cl Mariestads Alkoholfri: 12.90 kr. 33cl Mariestads 5,3%: 15.70 kr.

Maybe some people drink beer for the taste, especially hipster beers, but I think otherwise the commercials don’t help. I’ve also noticed they’re especially common a small bit before the alcohol monopoly closes – of course it’s their intention that someone sees the “non-alcoholic” commercial at 6PM and will run to the monopoly before 7PM when it closes.

The booths will be equipped with lock sensors which detect smoke. When smoke in such booths disappears, the doors will be automatically unlocked and defiant smokers can then leave the booths, he wrote.

Why not? If it’s too hard to leave the hospital to smoke, then what’s the problem with having a smokeroom?

There’s nothing illegal about downloading streams, but if the purpose of your downloads is to get fraudulent royalties, then of course it’s illegal as wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343.

but totally fine when so many other media companies do it?

Do other media companies create fake streams?

Fraud is the crime of obtaining money or property by deceiving people. He deceived streaming platforms, as he botted his songs in order to earn royalties.

The whole “AI” thing is irrelevant; it’d be the same situation if he manually produced all his music.

I’m not a rail expert, but I thought for some reason that rails without electricity would be too old/unmaintained to be allowed to serve passenger traffic, lol.

40 minutes? I would have imagined that everyone would hop off at the station, they’d then drive out to a parking junction, and then drive back the electric train to the station for people to load in again. Isn’t it also very expensive to take the train (you’re from the US I assume)? Not weird that no one wants to take it when it’s in such bad situations :/

If you’re already laying tracks, why not lay electricity as well?

Frankenstein is the monster?

And the old “I cheated on you because I was drunk”. It’s not so heartwarming that people here are belittling rape with what would be considered negligent sexual assault at the worst.

you’re only getting part of what an endoscopy can do.

But it’s much less intrusive, no? So should it not be considered to see if a good diagnosis can be made via it?

technically you should use a space to separate the thousands (e.g. $27 000), as this avoids the ambiguity

But who has time for &nbsp in their lives?

Uhm, hello, it says blood MEAL, so of course it’s made to be eaten.

But that’s all part of the same argument. If it was -f or -ff that’d make sense. Duplicate parameters are usually ignored in like all other programs I can think of.

HIPAA* violations are going to be for a lot more than $1000.

How does the mail come in tho bro? Or is your mail server just a client machine?

Do you have a “spammy” TLD?

that the drain line that the hose is dumping into is partially clogged

That’d be my thought, or even that the hose isn’t tightly pushed into the drain.
